The Chief Magistrate Of the
Nation Will Be Received
With Open Arms.

ovation that will warm the cookies OF
his heart it will not be because the peo-
pie are not unanimous in the matter OF
making the occasion memorable. There
will be no politics in his coming and
none in his reception. The great body
of Minneapolis people will hail him as
the president of the United States, and
receive him with the honor and respect
due the most exalted station in the
world. There will be no Republicans
or Democrats on that day-every man,
woman and child will be simply an
American, vieing with each other to do
credit to the city and honor to the presl-
dent. The exact date of his visit is not
known, and as yet nothing is known of
the programme which will be most
pleasing to his party, but the GLOBE
has interviewed a number of prominent
men, and their views of the proper
thing to do are appended:
Mayor AmeS-NOthing has been de-
termined upon as yet, except the deter
mination to do every thing in our power
to arrange a reception worthy the city
and its guest. My understanding is
that President Cleveland will be the
guest of the city at large. and the ar
rangements will be the charge and re-
spOnsibility of the city. l will call OIL
cial attention to the matter the moment
am advised of the time and extent of
the visit, and of course the programme
will decide what can be done.
c. H. Pettit-A committee should be
appointed of citizens identified with the
town to take charge of the matter and
make such arrangements as they think
best. An informal reception should be
held at the West. to be followed by a
banquet. The reception should be
made worthy of the occasion.
Jacob K. Sidle-We should treat him
handsomely and show him such atten-
ton as is due the chief magistrate of
our country.
Thomas b. Janney-I think an infor
NAL reception at the West would be
about the proper thing.
Samuel Hill think a reception
should be given President Cleveland
worthy of the city of Minneapolis and
of the man vino has so we'll filled GOr a
Democrat the first office in the United
States. This reception should be par
ticipated in by all, irrespective of party,
and nothing should be omitted which
will do honor to him or to ourselves.
Especially should we look to it that st.
Paul does not SurpaSS us in thlS-fOr
st. Paul having been at one time the
home of Mrs. Cleveland, and Hon. P.
II. Kelly, of st. Paul, being SO much
in the confidence of the president,
he might forget that there was any
other city in the state except st. Paul,
if we Go not put our best foot foremost:
Capt. j. G. Whitney-A committee of
about fifteen prominent citizens should
be appointed without regard to politics
to take the matter in hand and see that
he receives rOuSing reception.
Loren Fletcher-A committee should
be appointed of representative citizens,
irrespective of party, who should have
entire charge of the matter, and who
should make such arrangements as
would be satisfactory to the president
He should be treated as the guest of the
George A. Pillsbury-A committee
should be appointed of prominent citi-
zens of both parties who should have
charge of all the arrangements. He
should be met at st. Paul by the COM
mittee. and after his arrival in Mime
apolis should be shown over the city,
and then given an informal reception at
the West, to be followed by banquet.
Judge Mart B. Koon-If the Demo
cratic club which invited him are will.

be for the best. For | suppose he comes
here as president of the United States
and not as politician.
Matt WalSh-All organizations should
turn out and escort him from the station
to the West. An informal reception
should be held, to be followed by ban
quet.
Capt. William McCrory-An informal
reception should be held, to be followed
by banquet. There should be no pol
itics about it, and everybody should join
in making it grand success.
Robert G. Evans-A committee of citi
Zens should be appointed to take entire
charge of the matter and give him {
grand reception. He should be shown
around the city and then be given al
informal reception at the West. TIL,

spective of parties.
r. P. nningtOn-Everybody SHOULD
take hold and give the president re
ception that the city will feel proud of
There should be no politics about it
but every one should turn out and lie
him see what a lot of people there ar
in Minneapolis.
Joseph H. ThOmpSon-We should Civ

be followed by banquet.
Col. Fred Hooker-A committe,
should be appointed from the represent
alive men of the city, irrespective O
party, to receive the president and hi
party at the station and escort them +
the West. An informal reception
should be held at the hotel and all ciyi
bodies should assemble and attend TIN
reception as organizations. After tn
reception it would be well to give tn
president banquet.
Judge Isaac Atwater-I think a com
mittee of prominent citizens should b
appointed, irrespective of party, to pc,
feet the arrangements and receive hir
in a proper manner, and give him a re
ceptiOn at such time and place as tin
committee will be advised, will be th
most agreeable to him.

ner fitting the dignity of the chief mac
istrate of our republic. Can saw motif
